Lexington Expansion
In March 2023, Siemens announced a $220 million investment in a new East Coast rail manufacturing hub located in Lexington, North Carolina. Siemens will be creating 500 new jobs at the plant through 2028. The new plant broke ground in August 2023 and is expected to begin production in mid 2025. It will manufacture Venture coaches, some of the most innovative passenger coaches on the U.S. market, as well as coach and locomotive overhauls for the first time. In addition, the facility will have the capability to produce alternative propulsion vehicles, including hydrogen and battery-operated, in the future. The addition of this hub on the East Coast will establish a bicoastal, “Made in America” rail manufacturing footprint for Siemens, working side-by-side with its long-established Sacramento, CA manufacturing-hub.
